If you’ve ever been to Italy (or even if you haven’t) its obvious that its tough to find a real Italian pizza in NYC – let alone the rest of the States. By real, I mean thin yet soft crust with real tomato sauce, basil, and sliced fresh buffalo mozzarella (other toppings are nice, but NEVER ask for pepperoni – in Italy that is a spicy pepper, they don’t have such a meat!).

Luzzo’s was recommended to MM and I through MM’s best friend, Lori, who is from Naples (people from Naples know real pizza!). Whenever MM and his Italian friends are craving pizza, Luzzo’s is our staple: 1st Avenue & 13th Street
